The code you are talking about uses points in an array to draw lines to.
If you look in the Action Script in the first frame, at the bottom, that’s the array. The first entry in the X array corresponds to the first entry in the Y array, and so on.
If you’re truly ambitions, you can code your own points on the grid to represent your own text.

Note: I tried to change it to a square, but apparently, one of your points MUST cross over the origin.

i didn’t get it.
there is
Xcoords = new Array(-3, 3, 3, -1, -1, 2, 2, -1, -1, 3, 3, -3);
Ycoords = new Array(5, 5, 3, 3, 1, 1, -1, -1, -3, -3, -5, -5);
what i edit in it?

Imagine a coordinate plane.
The first array is the X value of each “point,” an entry in each array corresponding to the same entry in the second array, the Y’s of the “points.”
So,
XCoords(2,-3,0);
YCoords(2,1,0);
Would give a triangle with points
(2, 2), (-3, 1), (0, 0)

If you wanted to change the “e” to “Sikander” you would have to find the coordinates of every point in every letter and set each letter up in different arrays, set up like the original e.
Well I’m not sure about the seperate array thing, but I’m sure it would be very difficult.
